“Camille belongs to me. Remember that.” Tristan leaned against his car, hands in his pocket. If anyone saw the two of them, they’d think it was a friendly conversation. Maybe.

“Camille belongs to no one. She’s her own person. Plus,” giving him a long look, “she doesn’t know you’re here trying to scare me away.” D laughed and shook his head. “Man, if she had any idea of this little conversation you were planning, we wouldn’t be here,” Dwayne responded with just as much venom in his tone.

“I’m only warning you once.” Tristan’s frustration was increasing. Who was this guy to speak to him like this? Eyes squinting in anger, he was trying not to lose his temper and do something he’d regret.

“I know who the fuck you are, Tristan Lucarelli, and I still don’t give a fuck. All’s I’m sayin’ is, Camille is my little sister. I’ve been protecting her for almost twenty-five years. I will kill for that woman without a second fucking thought.” Shaking his head, he gave a low laugh, seemingly not worried about how close he was to death. “You want to be with her? Then she’s the one who decides that. If she wants you to be the man at her side, I’m cool with that. Not my place to decide who she keeps in her bed. But recognize that I’m not going anywhere.”

Tristan was tired of this conversation, even as he gave the guy props for not bitching up. “You will if I say so.”

Laughing, Dwayne stood up straight, adjusted his clothing, and stared at Tristan. “I got mad respect for you, Mr. Lucarelli.” Although the way he pronounced Tristan’s name said otherwise. “Not many motherfuckers would cross my path voluntarily. Especially not threatening me about Camille or Shandra.”

“I’m not many motherfuckers,” Tristan responded as he watched the expressions on Dwayne’s face. Annoyance. Mirth. Anger. Calm.

Well, that was interesting.

The dark-skinned man standing in front of him smiled, but Tristan wasn’t fooled. Dwayne was a predator. Dangerous. Deadly. But he was cautious of Tristan. He didn’t back down, but neither did he engage. At this, Tristan’s lips curled up in a smile of his own. He knew why Dwayne was still somewhat cautious. He’d recognized the same traits in Tristan that he saw in himself. The only difference between the two was that Tristan ate predators for breakfast.

In school, he’d come across the perfect descriptor for what he was.

Apex Predator.

As such, there was no motherfucker higher on the food chain than him.

The easy smile might fool some, but for those who recognized a kindred spirit, there was always a healthy dose of respect. Usually, he’d make men like Dwayne kneel, make him acknowledge the power that coursed through Tristan’s body. He’d decided to be generous today.

Dwayne’s body relaxed a bit before he looked down at his watch. A sign of disrespect. Orlando and Leo shifted, which Tristan caught in his peripheral. Shaking his head for them to stand down, he looked at Dwayne and raised an eyebrow.
